Haji Kaleemullah named Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Guava Fruit

Well, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan does own the sweetest and the prettiest face in Bollywood. So, it did not come as a surprise when grafting expert and Padmashree horticulturist Haji Kaleemullah Khan decided to name his new discovery, a sweeter variety of guava after this actress. The fruit resembles an apple in texture and is sweeter in smell and has more pulp with softer seeds.

“The new variety of guava is very different in taste, smell and look from the traditional and normal varieties grown in the country,” Kaleemullah told adding, “It took almost eight years to develop this unique variety of guava and no chemical fertiliser or pesticide was used in developing the same.”

“All measures were taken to ensure that the product is free from any possible side effect which chemical fertilizer or pesticide may have on fruits. One can get as many as 72 fruits on a 3.7 foot long tree”, Kaleemullah said.

In fact, Kaleemullah used Neem Oil as a pesticide to keep this unique guava free of any chemicals. Kaleemullah is known for growing unique variety of fruits especially mangoes. This Lucknow-based agriculturist has no formal qualification in agriculture but has immense knowledge on the subject. In May last year, the 70-year-old Khan grafted a new variety of mango, which he named after batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

“I am a 7th standard dropout and have been looking after the family business since 1957. My family’s record in this business goes back to 150 years. I am more interested in developing different varieties on a single tree and began the multiple grafting process,” he said.

Kaleemullah won the Padmashree for growing more than 300 varieties of mangoes of different shapes and sizes on one tree. The tree is about 100 years old and he started working on it in 1987 to develop the craft of growing different varieties on one tree.

Aishwarya suffers from fever

Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai, who was supposed to arrive here Tuesday to promote her upcoming film ’Guzaarish’, had to cancel her trip at the last minute due to fever.

The actress has been jetsetting for promoting the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, in which she plays a nurse named Sofia.

’Aishwarya is not travelling to Delhi. She is down with fever. She has had a hectic week of promotions,’

The 37-year-old was travelling Nov 11-13 and went to Dubai and London for a day each. After reaching Mumbai Nov 13 afternoon, she packed her bags to promote the film in Kolkata the next day.

Before the promotions for ’Guzaarish’, she was also busy promoting her other big films ’Action Replayy’ and ’Robot’.

Her co-star Hrithik Roshan too has been under the weather, but he accompanied Bhansali for the press conference in the capital.

’Guzaarish’, a story about a magician who becomes quadriplegic when one of his tricks goes wrong, will release Friday.

Good Chemistry is between Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan in Guzaarish

On-screen chemistry is something that exists between a film’s characters and not between the actors essaying the roles, says Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai about her success with co-actor Hrithik Roshan.
“Actually the chemistry is between characters that have been written (in script) and not between actors. When the audience experiences a moment that is magical between the characters you guys call it a sizzling chemistry between actors,” she said, when asked about her on-screen chemistry Hrithik ahead of the release of their “Guzaarish” Nov 19.
“It is an interesting coincidence that this is my third film with Hrithik Roshan. It was wonderful working with him. Earlier, we both have acted in two films ‘Dhoom 2′ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’,” she said.
“During ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ we both had said that we had done two movies which were diametrically opposite in terms of genre and perspective…both the films were hugely appreciated,” she told reporters while addressing a promotional event of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Guzaarish” here.
“Dhoom 2″ was set up in the backdrop of the 21st century. Hrithik played the role of a thief who steals valuable rare items using various hi-tech gadgets. He fell in love with Aishwarya, who was actually a spy working for the police. The film also had Aishwarya’s real life husband Abhishek Bachchan, who played a cop.
On the other hand, “Jodhaa Akbar” was a film which revolved around the romance of Mughal emperor Akbar, played by Hrithik, and his wife, Hindu Rajput princess Jodhaabai, played by Aishwarya.
“Then came Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’. We as co-actors were really excited to work in yet again a movie which was so different from the previous two. I think it rarely happens that as co-actors we are working in three movies which are so eminently and distinctively different from each other,” Aishwarya said.
“Guzaarish” revolves around the character of magician Ethan, played by Hrithik, who becomes quadriplegic when one of his tricks goes wrong. Aishwarya plays the role of a nurse, Sofia, who has been accompanying Ethan for the past 12 years.
Ethan’s life revolves around Sofia and they share a silent tacit love which is both beautiful and spirited.
“We both maintain and it’s true that as actors we always say that chemistry is on paper. It is there on paper in the script and in the screenplay.
We actors can only infuse life in it. But if that chemistry is absent in the script, we can try all we want but the moment will never be magical,” said the actress.
“I think when the audience experiences the moment that has actually been written and thought by the director that is all we call a magical moment or sizzling chemistry,” she said.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan uncomfortable with Hrithik in ‘Guzaarish’

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan share a sparking chemistry on-screen and their steamy lip lock in blockbuster ‘Dhoom 2’ had created stirs nationwide, so much so that father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan had the makers of the film delete the scene.

Once again, Bachchan Bahu is in a dilemma for her forthcoming release ‘Guzaarish’ with Hrithik again has a steamy scene between the two actors which could create an uncomfortable situation for her when the movie hits the screens. Sources reveal that Aishwarya has had a debate with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali over deleting the scene from the film and though the filmmaker is not sure whether or not to have it removed from ‘Guzaarish’, chances are there that the hot and intimate scene would be removed in the best interests of everyone.

Now, whether the interest of the leading lady wins over the interest of the film, is all to be waited and watched….

Aishwarya is ready for next flick

There is no stopping this talented director. After successfully adapting Shakespeare to an Indian milieu and making other critically acclaimed movies, Vishal Bharadwaj is aiming higher now. Currently working on Dream Sequence with Naseeruddin Shah’s son Vivaan in the lead, Bharadwaj met up with the Bachchan bahu Aishwarya recently.

Our source said, “Bharadwaj briefed Ash about a project he has in mind. He met up with her for a short while. A full-fledged meeting is round the corner where the filmmaker and the actress will have a more in-depth discussion.”

Apparently, Vishal is kicked about female oriented themes. “After Saat Khoon Maaf and Kaminey with Priyanka Chopra, the filmmaker is keen to work with other actresses as well. Also, with things not falling into place with Saif Ali Khan, Vishal feels that is far easier to work on subjects based on women,” said our source.

A small war between Abhi and Ash

Looks like the honeymoon period for Bollywood’s power couple, Abhi and Ash is over and now the usual husband-wife tiffs have begun to tickle in, where misunderstandings and small fights are a part of everyday routine.

Recently on their way to award ceremony, Kunal Kapoor accompanied them and reportedly Aishwarya got too loud and vocal while Abhishek kept requesting her to keep her voice low.

It’s been heard that Jr. Bachchan wasn’t happy about Ash getting a little loud while they attended the award function and wanted her keep a low profile. But Ash ignored him and continued to be her real self.

This gradually got into Abhi’s mind and by the time they reached their hotel lobby and things got out of control and they had an open discussion regarding the problem. Later, it’s said that Abhishek asked his personal security guards to escort Ash to their room.

Hope the storm has died down now.
